Welcome back to berry berry life on today’s episode we’re going to prepare a meal from start to finish today we’re making chili garlic tofu with Chinese broccoli and Jasmine rice so let’s get started we’ll start by pressing the tofu to remove excess water this firms up the

Tofu in preparation to be fried we’re using a tofu press we like it because of its Simplicity and convenience we’ll remove the tofu from packaging and place it in the inner basket the inner basket has holes at the bottom to allow for the water to escape into the outer basket

Now apply pressure using these bands there are three levels for varying degrees of pressure if you don’t have a tofu press you can also press a tofu between two dinner plates we like to place the plates on a cookie sheet so the water doesn’t drip all over the

Counter we’ll set the tofu aside for about 20 to 30 minutes while we prepare the rest of the ingredients as we always eat with our eyes first for this tofu dish we want to incorporate vibrant colors we’ll start with a carrot we’re going to use a cut

Called brunoa it’s the finest cut of vegetables first we Julian the carrots or cut them into Matchstick shapes and then cross cut them into tiny cubes what’s cooking in the berry berry kitchen today to find out and get daily updates follow us on Instagram at berry berry

Life next we’ll do the same for this long hot pepper this pepper is a little spicier than a red bell pepper but not by much we love its bright red color we were asked a few times about where we got our cutting boards during the pandemic I took up woodworking as a

Hobby and made a few cutting boards for myself and our immediate family along with some plant stands for my wife’s indoor junglow and some small Furniture pieces thank you so much for your compliments it means a lot next we we have some orange and yellow sweet peppers these are basically bize

Versions of the bell peppers how does a chili proposed marriage with a ring of fire and for a little spice we have two Bird’s eyee chilies or Thai chilies they’re Tiny But pack a punch this is the chili component in the dish next we’ll mince some garlic our trick

To mincing garlic we like to smash the garlic down with the side of a blade and then use the rocking motion to mince it Down for a bit of green we’re going to use some green onions we’ll use both the green and the white part we’ll chop the green part into small rings and set them aside and dice the white Parts just as fine since both the green and the white Parts

Take different amount of time to cook we’ll store them separately so we can add them at different times during the cooking process let’s check on the tofu with this press every 10 minutes or so we empty the bucket so the tofu isn’t sitting in the water that’s released

We’ll remove SM the tofu and Pat it dry with a paper towel once dry we’ll slice it into medium size cubes with this block we should get about 40 cubes tofu is a great source of protein as my wife says it’s tofu Licious check out the link above for more great tofu

Recipes and yes you too can make tofu delicious with the tofu cut We’ll add the into a mixing bowl and sprinkle on some cornstarch we add the tofu and the cornstarch in layers this way the tofu is coated evenly then we’ll add some salt and ground black pepper for a bit of

Flavor and now for the fun part we just shake the tofu about and ensure all the pieces are evenly coated all right we’re ready to fry fry the tofu in a large pan over medium heat we’ll add about 3 to 4 tbsp of Oil we’ll allow the oil to heat up and then add in the tofu pieces we’re going to pan fry these until they’re lightly golden brown using Chopsticks will keep turning the tofu you can use spoons as well when the tofu is done we’ll transfer it to a bowl lined with paper

Towel to soak any excess oil there the tofu is ready for the sauce we’ll need 1 tbsp of brown sugar 2 tbsp of light soy sauce 1 tbspoon of Ching’s chili sauce or you can use oex sambal or another chili garlic sauce 1 tbsp of cesan Chutney or you can use toban

Jan and lastly some freshly ground black pepper then we’ll give it a whisk and set it aside in the same pan we fry the tofu we use the remaining oil and heat it over medium heat then we’ll add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds next we’ll add the bird’s eyye

Chili this will Infuse the oil o with this spiciness then the white parts of the green onion we add the white Parts first because they take longer to cook next we’ll add the carrots and sauté for about 30 seconds the carrots don’t take

Long to cook at all then we go in with a combination of peppers just look at all those vibrant colors I’m getting hungry already with the veggies cooked now we’ll add the tofu along with the sauce add the sauce tofu otherwise the vegetables will lose their color

And gently stir to coat all of the tofu pieces with the sauce as the sauce reduces or the water evaporates it’s going to thicken and this will allow all the tiny vegetables to stick to the tofu now we top it with some green onions and sesame seeds for a little

Crunch there garlic chili tofu is Ready we’ll start by preparing the sauce We’ll add 1/4 cup of water water to a small pan and to it add a tablespoon of cornstarch then we’ll turn on the heat to low and continue stirring next we’ll add some sliced garlic if we don’t stir the cornstarch will coagulate if that

Happens don’t worry you can always add more water and break it up then we’ll add the finely chopped Bird’s eyed chili for some heat along with a tablespoon of brown sugar to counter that heat we’ll also add 2 tbspoon of vegan oyster sauce which is actually made from mushrooms and continue stirring until

The sauce is Silky Smooth with the sauce done we’ll set it aside and let it cool slightly while we prepare the broccoli to prepare the Chinese broccoli we’ll cut along the stem lengthwise and separate the stock down the middle when my wife and I went to China last year we tried many different

Vegetables a lot of which we’ve never had in the states we were fortunate to learn and taste the tradition traditional dishes of the locals then bring a pot of water to a boil and add about a teaspoon of cooking oil the oil helps the cooked Chinese broccoli shine like in the

Restaurant then we’ll drop in the Chinese broccoli and cook them for about 60 seconds Chinese broccoli symbolizes prosperity and good fortune in China and other Asian countries especially when enjoyed during celebrations and festivals now we’ll remove them to a bowl different regions in China prepar this dish with their own unique twist

For example in chesan Province it’s prepared with chesan peppers and garlic whereas in guango it’s often stir fried with oyster sauce once the broccoli has cooled a little we’ll chop them in half and place the halves on a serving plate keeping them together oh man look at that

Beautiful green color the broccoli looks so fresh and appetizing then we’ll drizzle over the sauce I love the way the garlic slices and the red chilies stand Out that’s it the Chinese broccoli is ready Asian food really isn’t complete without some steamed rice in my humble opinion so we’ll quickly make some steamed jasmine rice this is sort of a foolproof method for making rice on the stove or in our case an induction

Cooktop in a small pot We’ll add a cup of rice now we’ll add water and rinse the rice of excess starch now we’ll add more water for cooking we’ll level the rice evenly and add enough water to cover the rice then take the measurement of the rice using our finger with that

Measurement in mind we’ll add enough water to cover the rice of the same height next we’ll add about half a teaspoon of salt then turn on the heat to medium low and bring the rice to a gentle boil once the rice is at a gentle boil we’ll cover it with the lid and

Lower the heat to the lowest possible setting which in our case is one and cook for 10 minutes after 10 minutes the rice should be done that’s it perfect steam rice every time for the complete recipe of this meal check out the video description we hope you enjoyed watching us prepare
